Cancer and other MD Shit
My wife lost her fight with this cursed damned disease. She passed on Saturday the 29th of July in the early hours of the morning. She received the diagnosis the middle of March and didn't last to see the end of Summer, only 18 f..ing painful weeks. She was at least at home with us the last four days but she didn't regain consciousness and passed peacefully, which is a blessing after the battle she went through. There are no words to describe the pain of losing her. Booze just numbs the sorrow. I'm told this could last up to three years, prayers please... Bruce

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your loved ones Bruce.
I just read an article about the dangers of drinking that scared the crap out of me.
That’s it. No more reading!

Kiwi,
Nothing anybody can say makes it better. Time and getting through it are the only things that work. I'm so sorry for you to have to go through this. It just hurts and I'm so sorry.

Terribly sorry for your loss. When you're ready, it really helps to talk to someone about what all you're feeling. Be it a friend, a stranger or a professional just the act of putting those emotions to words is a sigh of relief

Looks like in our area Covid has popped up again. Several of our friends have tested positive this last week.

Re: Cancer and other MD Shit
Really sorry to hear this mate, its a cruel thing to go through. My mum was diagnosed 4 years ago , we lost her at Christmas. Father inlaw passed from colon cancer last april. Its a hard long path to go down. I cant imagine what its like to loose a partner in that way. It wont be three years, but it will get easier to deal with with support from friends and family. Take care mate.
Here's to alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all life's problems.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your Mum ,Goo......some of us have known for a long time that she's had health issues.
Can only imagine how much you miss her, still have mine and cherish that fact, good Mums are hard to come by.
